Piston Head

The piston is a cylindrical component that moves up and down inside the engine's cylinder. It plays a key role in converting the energy from the combustion of fuel into mechanical motion. As the fuel-air mixture burns, it creates high pressure that pushes the piston downward, generating power. Pistons are usually made of lightweight metals like aluminum for strength and heat resistance. They also have grooves to hold piston rings, which help seal the combustion chamber and control oil flow.
